And a good thing this is. If this had not happened, we'd have 3 different R600 LLVM back-ends to choose from when writing code. Mesa's R600 back-end, Tom's LLVM tree, or the upstream LLVM repository. Any fixes/improvements would have to be synchronized between all 3 repositories.

Now we're down to 2 repositories, and I believe that Tom has committed to handling the upstreaming of fixes based on his tree to the upstream LLVM project.

well, it's great that we have llvm for radeon

but there's 2 (or some more - haven't tested more than that) main issues I'm facing with it when for my daily work:

I'm running compiz 0.8* (0.9* is unstable for me and it's also not as fast & stable as 0.8* - at least for me)

- the exposť-like feature leads to a black screen

- likewise with the zoom feature

if anyone of the devs is reading here along - could you try to reproduce and see if there's a fix for that ?

(I'm using llvm from Tom's repo via FireBurn overlay with Gentoo)

afaik at the beginning when I started testing it some videoplayback (via smplayer) or even flash (in chromium) also didn't work -> black content
